Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by David WiegandThe Little Prince is heartbreaking, beautiful and irresistible.

New York Post - 9/10 by Kyle SmithLike a Pixar movie shorn of the cutesy and manipulative aspects that marred “Inside Out,” the animated remake of The Little Prince, hitting theaters and Netflix, is as fragile and beautiful as the beloved rose guarded by the wee fellow of the title.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 9/10 by Brad WheelerThe audience is invited to celebrate the purified wonder of youth and the dazzle of life’s invisible indispensables.

RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Brian TallericoIt is a cinematic crime that the abrasive garbage that is “The Angry Birds Movie” and “Ice Age: Collision Course” get national releases while most people don’t even know The Little Prince is coming to win their hearts this weekend.

Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Richard RoeperWe’ve yet to get a masterpiece-level film adaptation of the classic novella “The Little Prince,” but if and until that day comes, this will do just nicely, thank you very much.

Variety - 8/10 by Scott FoundasA respectful, lovingly reimagined take on Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s classic 1943 tale, which adds all manner of narrative bells and whistles to the author’s slender, lyrical story of friendship between a pilot and a mysterious extraterrestrial voyager, but stays true to its timeless depiction of childhood wonderment at odds with grown-up disillusionment.

The New York Times - 8/10 by Stephen HoldenThe voice casting and the visual representations of the characters the boy encounters on his journeys are superb.

The Playlist - 8/10 by Oliver LytteltonThe book is so counter to our contemporary narrative demands that liberties would need to be taken for a movie version, and for the most part Osborne takes the right liberties, ending up with an extremely beautiful, very charming, thematically rich take that’s sure to be one of the better animated movies this year.

Hitfix - 8/10 by Gregory EllwoodThere is a faith that the story and characters will keep the audience engaged, even if there isn’t a bright and shiny thing to distract them in a every single scene.

Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Leah GreenblattAt its inventive best—like the creation of a little cloth fox who never speaks but steals almost every scene he’s in—it does capture the odd, tender wonder of his world.
